Handbook of Inflation Indexed Bonds
Handbook of Inflation Indexed Bonds provides complete coverage of inflation protection bonds beginning with their first U.S. issuance in 1997. Five, in-depth sections detail: strategic asset allocation; mechanics, valuation, and risk monitoring; global environment; issuers; and investors.
The Rationale and Design of Inflation-Indexed Bonds
A number of industrialized countries have recently offered inflation-indexed bonds. Some members of another group of countries that had earlier adopted more comprehensive indexation in response to high inflation have taken steps to reduce the scope of indexation in their economies. This paper surveys debt management, monetary policy, and welfare arguments on the use of inflation-indexed bonds, and relates these to the experiences of various issuers. The paper also considers some important design features of indexed bonds.
Inflation-indexed Securities
The entry of the USA into the index-linked bond market has heightened the demand for more complex information about these instruments. This text aims to help the readers understand securities, the motivation of both issuers and of investors, and how their value compares to one another.
Inflation-indexed Securities
The global market for inflation-indexed securities has ballooned in recent years, and this trend is set to continue. This book examines the rationale behind issuance and investment decisions, and details the issues facing anyone who designs indexed securities, illustrating them wherever possible with actual examples from the international capital markets. In particular, an extensive review of indexed debt markets throughout the world is provided - including for the first time, a comprehensive and consistent set of cash flow and price-yield equations for the instruments already in existence in the major bond markets - forming an important reference for those already experienced in the field, as well as practitioners and academics approaching the subject for the first time. The book also provides unique insight into the development of inflation-indexed derivative products, and the analytical tools required to value such instruments.
Inflation-Linked Bonds and Derivatives
Disruptions in supply chains and consumption patterns triggered by the pandemic together with stimulus packages and the energy crisis have catapulted inflation rates to levels last seen in the 1970s. For inflation markets, it’s hard to understate this sudden and enormous change in fortunes. Understanding the future evolution of consumer prices has become crucial for investors across all asset classes as central banks tailor their policy responses with a view to anchoring inflation expectations. Inflation-Linked Bonds and Derivatives condenses more than 15 years of dedicated coverage of inflation markets. It provides investors, issuers and policy makers with all the relevant tools to navigate inflation markets, starting with the nuts and bolts of consumer price indices, forwards, carry and trading strategies, to advanced topics like seasonality adjustments and the use of inflation options. With its many illustrative graphs and tabulated data, this exceptional book will benefit traders, corporate treasury departments, fixed income investors, insurance companies and pension funds executives.
Inflation - Indexed Bonds and Derivatives
This chapter provides an introduction to index-linked securities, including inflation-indexed securities such as TIPS issued by the U.S. government and index-linked gilts issued by the UK government. Basic concepts of bond purpose and design are described in summary, followed by a detailed look at inflation-linked bond yield analysis. This then enables us to look at the concept of the inflation term structure. The second half of the chapter considers inflation-linked derivatives such as inflation-linked bond swaps, year-on-year inflation swaps, and real annuity swaps, together with a look at the use of inflation derivatives for hedging purposes. This includes hedging pension liabilities and restructuring bond portfolios. We then review constructing the inflation term structure and pricing inflation derivatives.
The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities, Chapter 15 - Inflation-Linked Bonds
From The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities--the most authoritative, widely read reference in the global fixed income marketplace--comes this sample chapter. This comprehensive survey of current knowledge features contributions from leading academics and practitioners and is not equaled by any other single sourcebook. Now, the thoroughly revised and updated seventh edition gives you the facts and formulas you need to compete in today's transformed marketplace. It places increased emphasis on applications, electronic trading, and global portfolio management.
Information Contents of Inflation Indexed Bond Prices
In January 1997, the U.S. Treasury started issuing Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS; hereafter TIPS and indexed bonds interchangeably) and, as of September 2002, a total of ten issues were being traded on the market, while one issue had already matured. The purpose of this paper is to attempt an evaluation of indexed bonds based on the record of five and a half years of market trading in TIPS, and to present the results as a reference for the issue of similar securities by the Japanese government in the future. The results of this paper are as follows: (1) Real interest rates are relatively stable and remain near the 4% mark. The 30 year bond is even more stable. (2) The expect...
Understanding Inflation-indexed Bond Markets
This paper explores the history of inflation-indexed bond markets in the US and the UK. It documents a massive decline in long-term real interest rates from the 1990's until 2008, followed by a sudden spike in these rates during the financial crisis of 2008. Breakeven inflation rates, calculated from inflation- indexed and nominal government bond yields, stabilized until the fall of 2008, when they showed dramatic declines. The paper asks to what extent short-term real interest rates, bond risks, and liquidity explain the trends before 2008 and the unusual developments in the fall of 2008. Low inflation-indexed yields and high short-term volatility of inflation-indexed bond returns do not invalidate the basic case for these bonds, that they provide a safe asset for long-term investors. Governments should expect inflation-indexed bonds to be a relatively cheap form of debt financing going forward, even though they have offered high returns over the past decade.
A Market Model for Pricing Inflation Indexed Bonds
Protection against inflation is an essential part of the today's financial markets, particularly in high-inflation economies. Hence, nowadays inflation indexed instruments are being increasingly popular in the world financial markets. In this study, we focus on pricing of the inflation-indexed bonds which are the unique inflation-indexed instruments traded in the Turkish bond market. Firstly, we review the Jarrow-Y ld r m model which deals with pricing of the inflation-indexed instruments within the HJM framework. Then, we propose a pricing model that is an extension of the Jarrow-Y ld r m model. The model allows instantaneous forward rates, inflation index and bond prices to be driven by both a standard Brownian motion and a finite number of Poisson processes. A closed-form pricing formula for an European call option on the inflation index is also derived."
